Awesome you got it back. I’d love to get my 94 Mustang back but judging by the CARFAX it’s probably in the scrap heap.

Glad you got your baby back. I sure liked the rims you had on it. Those black ones to me are UGLY and degrade the whole look of the vehicle.

Now *there`s* and understatement! Wow, you sure did.
Those flames were done right, huh? No issues (I gather) from doing the needed correction...and I bet that the 3K took off less overall than trying to compound it more aggressively. Nicely done!

You hit the nail on the head! Sometimes is less aggressive to damp sand with 3k and just buzz it without having to put a bunch of heat in it.
And yes this car had 3-4 solid coats of clear with high grade Spies Hecker paint.

Thanks gents!
Made some more headway tonight. Got both quarters sanded and polished out.
Also removed the wing and sanded and polished the deck lid along with the wing.
